Why Consider the VIP Pass?
The free admission allows you to attend all the workshops, but there’s a catch—you only have 24 hours to watch each workshop video before it expires.

My Contribution to Cricut Craftfest: Holiday Lanterns
I'm thrilled to announce that my project will go live on Day 2, which falls on Tuesday, October 3rd! I’ll be teaching a workshop on creating beautiful holiday lanterns—a perfect addition to your festive decor.
Project Details:
For this workshop, I’ll be showing you how to make two different styles of lanterns. These lanterns are perfect for any holiday theme, whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, or any winter celebration.
- Machines Supported: Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker, and Cricut Joy
- Lantern Variations: Taller lanterns (Explore or Maker), shorter lanterns (all machines)
We’ll cover everything from uploading files into Cricut Design Space, setting score lines, and using the foil transfer kit to add extra flair. If you prefer, you can opt to use a Cricut pen or skip the embellishments altogether for a simpler design. It’s completely customizable to your style and needs!
Materials and Supplies for Holiday Lanterns
If you’re a VIP Pass holder, I’ve got you covered with a list of all the supplies and colors I used to create these lanterns. That way, you can be fully prepared before diving into the project. If you're attending the free version, remember that you’ll have just 24 hours to complete your lanterns after the workshop goes live—so gather your materials in advance!
Here’s a general list of what you’ll need for the Gnome Christmas Lantern project:
- Cardstock in various colors
- Cricut Foil Transfer Kit (optional)
- Glue and other basic crafting tools
